Technicians are trained and certified in OSHA regulations, bloodborne pathogen handling, and biohazard remediation standards. Ongoing education ensures PuroClean of Post Falls teams remain current with best practices and safety protocols.

How do I know if my property needs reconstruction after biohazard cleanup services?

How is hazardous disposed of?

All contaminated materials are packaged, transported, and disposed of in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. This may involve incineration or specialized waste treatment facilities licensed to handle biohazards.

Yes. Professional biohazard cleanup uses approved disinfectants and testing protocols to ensure that spaces are safe for re-entry by all occupants, including pets and children.

The Blood or Other Potentially Infectious Materials (BOPIM) Standard

In 1991, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a standard to protect workers from the risk of blood or other potentially infectious materials (BOPIM). Infectious pathogens include the Hepatitis B virus, HIV, the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and many others.

This standard helps protect approximately 5.6 million workers in the healthcare industry and related occupations, which also includes biohazard remediation companies. Biohazard remediation falls within the scope of the BOPIM standard.

Also, the BOPIM standard has several requirements, including:

Conduct a Health and Safety Assessment (OSHA requirement)
Using work practice, administrative, and engineering controls
Using appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Proper handling, transport, and disposal of hazardous medical waste materials
Specific required vaccinations
Mandatory training
Record keeping
